Method

1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a shallow dish. Add the chicken, turning until well coated. Cover and leave in the fridge for at least 2 hours but preferably overnight.

2. Preheat a ridged stove-top griddle. Place the chicken on the griddle, and grill for 7 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat and set aside.

3. While the chicken is cooking, make the dressing. Combine the zest and juice of the lemons and limes in a saucepan. Add the garlic and ginger. Simmer over medium-high heat for a few minutes until reduced and syrupy. Once reduced, stir in the honey and olive oil, Simmer until the mixture reaches a consistency similar to lemon curd.

4. Slice the chicken into thin strips and place in a large bowl. Add the noodles, carrot, bean sprouts and mangetout. Add the herbs and toss gently to mix. Pour over dressing and serve.

My husband wasn't keen on this dish (too much rabbit food), but the marinaded chicken and the dressing were lovely.

I like the recipe but your eating and your hair flipping around turned me off. Tie up your hair and eat before the show.
